Nope. Everyone is still in cerratoshock. I looked it up on webmd. It's a pretty serious nagging syndrome to shake and recover from. People are used to getting Carriker-esque players only when we trade away a 2nd and 3rd this year, and a conditional 6th next year. Getting the good end of the stick on a deal like this one starts the syndrome cycle over again. http://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon7.gif

Well, we got Erasumus James for a seventh rounder.

Tu chez. However, I think we are still in the early recovery stages. It'll probably take a few more of these to be completely in remission.

But it seemed that the Vikes were about to cut James at the time of the trade. We likely could have gotten him without giving up a pick. Trading for James was one of the dumbest of Vinny moves.

And how did Erasmus James work out for us? Does anyone have a tape of James' numerous Redskins highlights?

Nope. I snuck in and burned them in the middle of the Ashburn practice field with all of the other Vinny highlight reels.:FIREdevil

Why?

I didn't say the biggest of dumb moves. I meant the move that most screamed pure dumbness. Trading for a player that you can get for free is deeply stupid, more stupid than misjudging talent.

You mean like trading a 3rd for Brunell and extending him when the whole league knew Jax was going to drop him?

Like I said, a door ding.

Fair enough. Good example.

If memory serves me right, had Erasmus gotten cut, he would have gone through the waiver wire and other teams would have picked him up. Not that this actually justifies the move, but it explains why they did it. Besides, it's not like 7th rounders work out all the time.

I'm sure I can think of one or two or fifty other moves made by Vinny that were dumber than this one.

Honestly, that was a door ding on the fiery car explosion that was the V Cerrato era.

Yep. Thanks for the catch. Still being a scrub and whatnot I'm still fine-tuning how to use some of the more stately features. So how does the emoticon work anyway?
